In Outlook, I finally figured out how to make the "Send Adobe Link" suggestion begone.

File - Options - Add-Ins - Manage COM Add-Ins - Go - Uncheck Adobe Document Cloud

This morning on LinkedIn I posted, "Beware of cynical voices on LinkedIn." You can probably guess what kind of people were offended by that, and they fought back with their comments. Don't care.
As a side note, from context clues in some of the answers, there are a lot of people who don't know the difference between "cynical" and "skeptical." Those people were also offended.

BTW I thought maybe I should clarify. My post is in no way derogatory. I'm borderline on the autism spectrum myself. My test results: "Shows significant autistic traits." I do okay. Six figure income, college professor, consultant to private technology departments. But it can be exhausting to fit in. "I'm supposed to smile now." "I need to make brief eye contact." It occurred to me that introverts might just need a break from "fitting in."

I wonder how many introverts are on the edge of the autism spectrum and just don't realize it.

Okay, what? This stuff just shows up in Google Maps for anyone to see?

In the early 2nd century AD Juvenal asked, "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" This translates as, "Who watches the watchmen?" As artificial intelligence makes its way into society, this question is as important as at any previous time in history.

Remind your family, friends, and coworkers to watch out for fake tax refund emails. Here's an example that came to my inbox today.
